Keep reading to know more about this mega event.
Historical Context of the IPL Auction
Originally launched in 2008, Indian Premier League has now evolved into one of the most profitable and the most sought-after cricket leagues in the world. The auction system was also introduced to ensure a level playing field among franchises who could bid for individual players based on their strategies and budgets.
Taking place every three years, the mega auction allows the teams to significantly rebuild their squads. This is a period that neither franchises nor players can afford to miss.
Auction Structure
Each franchise is allocated a budget (₹120 crore for 2025) to build a squad of 18 to 25 players. Teams can retain a limited number of players from previous seasons, with any retained player’s salary deducted from their total budget.
The auction features players categorized by base prices, ranging from ₹30 lakh to ₹2 crore. This year, a total of 577 players were available, including 367 Indian and 210 overseas cricketers.

Player Categories and Auction Strategy
The IPL Auction categorizes players into different tiers based on their experience and performance:
- Players with a base price of ₹2 crore attract significant attention due to their established records.
- Uncapped players often become valuable assets as teams look for hidden gems who can deliver under pressure.
Franchises must balance their rosters by filling slots designated for overseas players (up to eight per team) while ensuring they have enough domestic talent to comply with league regulations.
Right-to-Match Cards:
Teams that retained fewer than six players were allowed to use Right-to-Match (RTM) cards during the auction. This mechanism lets franchises match any bid for their retained players, adding another layer of strategy to the auction process.
As of Day 1, total 8 RTMs are used.
Conclusion
This is the first time that Indian Premier League took place outside of India. The IPL Mega Auction 2025 was held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The bidding saw some intense sportily battle between the franchises.
The franchises invested heavily in top-end talent. Rishabh Pant was sold at the highest signing ever at the whooping ₹27 crore! Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer were also sold at an impressive bid. Be it the financial prowess that franchises have shown or the commitment to assembling competitive teams for the next season, the auction highlighted it all.
